Did you really mean that? In my experience you flame a lot of people for being
clueless. I hope you don't flame ignorant people if they want to learn, though.

OT: There is a quotation about that, but I can't remember the exact words or
all four verses. Something like:

He who knows, and knows that he knows, is wise: follow him

He who knows, and knows not that he knows, ?[can't remember this one]?

He who knows not, and knows that he knows not, is teachable: teach him

He who knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool: shun him.

The fourth category seems to be the sort of cluelessness that Tony finds
annoying - and who can blame him?



Philip.
